Being interdisciplinary and multi-institutional in nature, this project includes participants from various institutions (e.g., UCSD, SDSU, UCSB, Caltech, Yale) and disciplines (e.g., astronomy, biology, earth sciences, structural engineering), and with ties to large NSF-supported activities such as NEES and NEON. A directly educational component is predominantly with Indian reservations (TDVnet) and the California Wolf Center. In addition, participation exists with various agencies, predominantly the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF, state firefighters), and the San Diego Sheriff's Department, with an emphasis on incident/crisis management and public safety applications that might benefit from high performance wireless date networking. Both CDF and the Sheriff's Department allow HPWREN to utilize some of their facilities, and hence contribute resources. In addition, HPWREN rents space on a microwave tower from a private company. Collaborations with the US Navy (SPAWAR) allows for a high-speed connection to San Clemente Island to support network research and sensors.
